The only one not going will be our 4 yo son as it is a bit late for him. He was the happiest Bulls fan yesterday as he fell asleep at about 1530 and woke at the end of the match. He asked if we had won so I said yes. Am I going to hell?

Maybe just on day release for that one

I'll be going +1 as always

I'll be there, but it's back to the same mentality that was present last year - hope rather than expectation

I'll probably go more in hope than expectation, only to be let down again by another depressing display from a team with no purpose or direction stemming from a coach who is unable to convey his message to the players or is just crap. Can't wait!

If as some of you predict and you lose to us by 18-20 that's surely gotta be it for Steve Mac? I remember the days when a trip to Odsal meant a thrashing was in store. Similarly to us you've got a tricky start and I'm sure both teams now will target this as a game they want to win. You had a decent run end of last year and got a couple of "stars" in. Are they just not gelling yet?

I'd be extremely surprised if SM was sacked during this season. This is the final year of his current contract so to fire him - and pay the resulting wages/fees - wouldn't make much financial sense. Better just to see it out and try and get a replacement lined up for next season.

Not a chance.
My stay away protest started this time last year and will continue till Mr Macnamara is removed as head coach.
Ive no problem with him staying as an assistant under some one else just not as head coach.

Well, I reckon that one person with about 6 ID's makes up 70% of this thread. How odd, talking to yourself like that!

Funny how so many lifelong Bulls fans have only 5 posts between them.
Not.

Depressing it may be, but a true Bulls fan will go, sadly many floating voters will stay away as is their right. And if it really IS all McNamara;s fault - well, then surely the team you are supposed to support need your "support" more in times of strife than when the good times roll?

Oh, and plus you should all know we'll knock off Cas easily, and then you'll all be claiming you were there.

We will all be there - the curse of a season ticket. I can barely wait.
As for the away games - if last season is anything to go by, it might be the only chance of seeing a half decent performance.

What position was he playing?

I'll be there on that well-trodden journey from enthusiasm to exasperation.

I'm not going, and neither are the other 5 people I go to matches with. I won't be returning until there's some pride or passion on the field, something which has been decidedly lacking for months.

I was thinking on Sunday evening about what else I could spend £18 on and decided to use it to sponsor Debaser to do the London marathon instead. I feel better about it already!

If time &/or money wasn't an issue I would be at a game, preferably Bulls Cas as Cas will always be my team, but first & foremost I love RL.

I'll be there come what may, it's also my last match for 3 weeks as i have to go away. if we get hammered again i might not want to come back!!............. I will be back whoever

is in charge.

My lot & I will be there, as we always will be.

Take the coach and players out of this for a minute.
It is still our club and to be a supporter means running with the bad times aswell as the good.

We've been more than spoilt in the first 10 years of Superleague and this has given people the impression we have a god given right to be the top dog every year.

We don't.

I started in '86 and have seen plenty of bad seasons up at Odsal, along with 3000 other hardy soles. Going through this made the start of SL all the sweeter!

I've no doubt the (relative) good times will return, it may be 5 years, but they will. For now it's somebody else's turn to enjoy life at the top.

For now, run with it and stay true to the cause.

PS - You do know they serve beer to numb the pain, don't you!?

I'm not going and nor is any of my family. Sorry to say it.

I'm going anyway and working on the assumption that we can't be that bad again it'll feel like the good times have returned



Remember there are always positives... like not having to play St Helens at home again.

I am without a shadow of doubt still going!

Even if I didn't have a season ticket I would still make the effort! At the end of the day, its still our club, and our team! I may be a bit naive but I was almost taught to support a team through thick and thin and through the good AND the bad!

And I still intend to go to as many away games as the bank manager lets me and that I'm able to get to. Even if we get to August and its still the same rubbish being played, I will still be there. And when the good times do return, it will taste even sweeter!

By staying away, we would only be damaging the club even further.

I won't be there buit it's nothing to do with boycotting the game. It's just a case of 'to much to do and not enough time' for Friday evening games for me.

I like it

My bank account is quite damaged this month. Normally I would scrape the cash together but on this occasion I decided it's not worth it, I can't justify the expense when we are playing so badly and the enjoyment factor has gone. The Bulls will just have to survive without my support in person until the end of the month. I guess I'll be in the pub nursing half a mild for 80mins this Friday.

After I've been paid hopefully we'll have turned it around but if not I'll be deciding which games I go to based on whether I think I'll get value for money - i.e the team playing better and putting the effort in.

I went through the stage of paying to see any old rubbish back in the 80s and early 90s. Someone else can take over from me now.

Consider your duty taken over!

But you know you want to go still, every week, deep down in your heart!

This is a really worrying thread when you read that even the staunchest die hard supporters are not going to the games. Without them the club is bolloxed and things will get worse and worse until we have no team to support. I have been worried about the continued downward spiral over the last few seasons but can see the current situation being the beggining of the end for the club I am very commited to. Very sad really. That being said I and my crew will be there supporting them home and away whilst we still have a team to support.
